It is non judgemental and veiws economy and human freedom as a priority. It is economically expansionistic and beleives in divine intervention for just causes. The borders themselves appear very isolationist as all trade and tourism is tightly monitored.

STATE&GOVERNMENT

The State is the consolidated beleif of the Imperium. The state is not to be confused with the government. The state is all Imperial Agents, and is headed by the Emperor. Only Officeres Lictor and above are acting on behalf of the state, this includes the Consuls of the Imperial provinces BUT NOT parliaments. Privy Councilors of the Provincial governments are the base of what would be considered 'citizens', as they have the right to communicate with the empire. A few other agents aslo are part of the Imperial State. Equestrians are regarded favourably and also have some general recognitions. What would be considered plebs are technically not 'free' and are 'subjects'. Equestrians are valued subjects, however often weild large amounts of power, but unless they are also Lictors or higher generally have no direct route to Imperium. Any Provincial Government citizen may raise themselves to the level of Senator in which case they gain voice in the Empire.

The Government is secondary to the state. The state is headed by Totus Fides the Voice of the Almighty equivical to Holy Emperor. The Government has a number of divisions but they are 'state' departments Interior, Exterior, Emergency Services and Sovereignty Affairs. There is a house of Lords, and a parliament (senate, and house of commons). Each Imperial Province has a seperate government, that is identical in composition (in algorythm)

The various Government have a capacity to create the Senate and thus to place ceasars to head the Empire although essentially it is the Emperor who appoints many of the Senators especially the Consuls, however in general, it is staff of the Government ESSI division that end up in many of the Senatorial Roles, it is technically imposible for someone to be a senator without having served in the security forces, except in a case of bizarre exception, perhaps for financial Senators. The Empire is thus a theocratic dictatorship, with communistic tendancies, and a constitutional imperium. While the government is democratically elected and appoint but oversaw by an appointed commander that is part of the Imperium. The private businesses are very indepthly interactive with the state and the corporate heads are a form of aristocracy having fuedal like domains and private security forces.

Elections were banned by Totus Fides but later reinstated, however the government is by claim and allowance, as everyone has a right to fued or to represent the almighty, thus anarchy in some sense prevails from time to time as personal civil wars rage.

Elections are not 'state' organized they are pubically organized by the government. They only hold true to who allows the parliament to take place and who is allowed to speak etc.. Although the govenor general has the capacity to side, especially on orders of the government Judicature.

The Imperious House / Imperial Court - this is the 'center of the Empire'

The Imperial Senate

Totus Fides is the head of state of Intracircumcordei.

The Imperial Senate - an imperial Senator needs a million gold standards. registered in one of the six senatorial or twelve equestrian centuries

Consul - 12 lictors each the consuls are jointly 'govenors council' with one being in the territory and one being at the imperial capital, they may rotate etc.. and are in effect joint govenor generals; however, only 1 is physically present on most circumstances. Where as one may be taking part in the house of lords the other may be taking part in the council of govenors. They will discus intentions and do planning etc.. together. Consuls are 'elected' but appointed by the Emperor

Praetor - 6 lictors, 2 lictors within praetor sometimes command the armies of the state; and while consuls were are absent with armies or unavailable (effectively they are 'imperial generals' and civil 'mayors' A praetor is in each imperial city.

Praetor Urbanus (is the Mayor of the Imperial Capital)

Curule Aedile (aedilis curulis) - 2 lictors

Commonwealth Council of Governors

(Each govenor general has a respective privy council, and each privy council)

Commonwealth Privy councils are elected from among the house of lords in the Lord President ballot, the privy council 'includes' the Lord President. Note that the Lord President ballot is composed of the 'outgoing' house of lords membership. But individuals may be 'reposted' to the house of Lords either by vote or position in the parliament(commons, senate) or other roles. The Privy council is 'the highest' position 'in government' on a peer basis.

The Privy Council is composed of the 'top vote getters' of the House of Lords presidency. It is 'the supreme council' to Totus Fides the Emperor. on issues of debates, feuds, disputes, executions, exiles, and other matters of state. Effectively it is the privy council that bridges between 'the government' and the state.

Master of Requests receives petitions from subjects and presenting them for consideration by the Privy Council, the master of requests, in effect speaks with the Lord High Chancellor, however, they are not limited to speak to the lord high chancellor.

Imperial Councils - these are the 'leaders' of the Provinces

Imperial Provincial Governments - these are the regional governments, although in effect they are a steping stone to the imperial councils.
